Answer:

Explanation:

1.Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

2.Multiply to remove 1 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 101 = 10

3.Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 4 and 10, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 2,

so the answer is

0.4= 2/5
